[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 184783, member: 5938"] Oh hoser, I feel for ya. Sounds like your area is a living hell hole. First off, don't let them wear you down by moving you to stack. So what, pays the same, right? Stack the crap while keeping yourself safe. Cardboard is cardboard and it sucks just as bad loading as stacking it. Hang in there with the other employees. I know that deer in headlight look and I've spent many days with it on my own face. Management is very good at dividing us, which weakens the brother/sisterhood of the union and makes a joke of the contract. A t-shirt given to this one, a cap to that one, breakfast after the sort with a few of the guys, a pat on the back or even a fib to someone about someone else will start the animosity. Notice how little opportunity we have to talk to each other while pt sups walk around whispering in everyone's ear. No one knows where they stand or who they can trust. You're trying to help them and, in turn, help the entire area but if they are intimidated into working without regard to safety there's nothing you can do for them. Just keep yourself safe and be a good example. All this place comes down to is keeping yourself safe and sane. If you're lucky you'll find a friend or two you can trust and laugh it off with. I've gone long periods in my building where I trusted no one but myself. Lonely, yep. Safe, very. When it doubt, keep it to yourself and do the best you can safely. Sounds like you're doing all right so far, just don't let the bastards wear you down! dw [/QUOTE]
